Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles ...
Researchers use AI and postmortem tissue to reveal that tau PET scans are often influenced by iron and neuroinflammation rather than tau tangles alone.
PET scans can detect amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain, which are often early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. But they’re not enough on their own to make a diagnosis. Alzheimer’s disease is ...
A new study from Brigham and Women's Hospital suggests that positron emission tomography (PET) brain scans could reveal hidden inflammation in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are being ...
PET scans can light up tumors in the body and help doctors determine if they are cancerous or benign (noncancerous). The results of a PET scan help guide medical decisions. A PET scan is a type of ...
